If you're in need of a series to binge this drizzly weekend, then how does a paranormal drama based on a group of people who mysteriously rise from the dead in a backcountry Australian town sound to you?
Thought so.
Well luckily for you Glitch has returned for its third and final season - so if you haven't watched it already now is the time.
The Netflix show, which first premiered in 2015, is set in the fictional town of Yoorana, Victoria, and follows a group of people who return from the dead in peak physical health but with no memory at all and a sensitivity to sunlight.
Series one, sees Senior Constable James Hayes (played by Patrick Brammall) responding to a call regarding a disturbance at the town's cemetery. When he arrives, he finds seven dead people, soil-covered having climbed from their graves.
One includes a man who has been dead for nearly 100 years (Sean Keenan), and one, Constable James' own wife Kate (Emma Booth) who died two years earlier. The series follows the town's search for answers.
The second installment, which premiered in 2017, follows James and the group of dead people - named the Risen - as they try to unravel the mystery of why and how they've returned. However, their journey is made that bit harder by a lethal threat to civilisation.
The third series, which hit Netflix this month, sees the Risen continue with their search for the truth beyond their small city of Yoorana. "Basic physics, the rules of the universe are big undone, the entire universe will be torn apart," ominously warns the trailer, along with "Everything that lives must die."
You can watch all three series of Glitch on Netflix right now, and the series also airs on ABC in Australia.
Sally Riley, an ABC exec, said: "We are so proud of Glitch and storytelling risks it takes. The stellar creative team have taken the show to a whole other level and Season 3 promises to be a thrilling and hugely emotional journey."
The series, created by Tony Ayres and Louise Fox, also stars Emily Barclay, Rodger Corser, Hannah Monson and Genevieve O'Reilly.
With this weekend set to be a washout, what better reason to snuggle up and binge an entire series start to finish?
